Free Concert: Native American Composers Apprenticeship Project

Since 1984, the Grand Canyon Music Festival has been dedicated to bringing the worldâ€™s finest musicians to Grand Canyon National Park in celebration of the power and beauty of this magnificent World Heritage site. Since 1985, the Festival has extended this gift of music to the students of northern Arizonaâ€™s under-served and rural communities, primarily at schools on the Navajo and Hopi Reservations. In 2001, the Festival initiated its Native American Composers Apprentice Project (NACAP) to extend its outreach to training talented Native American students in the art of composition. NACAP develops musical literacy and enhances critical thinking and decision-making skills through the study of music composition.

This event is free and open to the public.
Doors open at 5:30 p.m. – concert starts promptly at 6 p.m.
